After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 473

Chapter 473: Chapter 473: Level 6

Inside Tomorrow Base.

Felix Finch led Nina Jacobs to the underground warehouse.

"We’ve managed to recover some supplies these past few days, but with more and more survivors arriving, it won’t be enough in the long run."

Felix Finch said as they walked.

"But there’s good news, too. Everyone thinks our base is much better than Lornwood Base. More and more people are paying for housing with Crystal Cores, and many are even paying several years of rent upfront."

"And then there are our base’s Water Cards. Basically, everyone has one now."

Cordelia reported from the side.

She was now the head of the base’s finance department, a position Nina Jacobs had encouraged her to take before she left.

She was responsible for tallying and managing the base’s Crystal Cores.

Although Tomorrow Base had only been established for a month, it had already collected a significant number of Crystal Cores.

Besides the booming housing business, the widespread adoption of Water Cards was another major success.

The base currently had only a few dozen Water Element Superpower Users, so they couldn’t provide an unlimited water supply. However, ensuring a supply of three liters of water per person per day wasn’t a problem.

And this supply only required each person to purchase a Water Card for 30 regular Crystal Cores per month.

That was equivalent to one Crystal Core per day.

Compared to Lornwood Base’s monopoly on water, Tomorrow Base was basically selling water for dirt cheap.

"Good. Keep pushing forward with these operations. Is the construction of new housing in the base going smoothly?"

Nina Jacobs asked.

With the constant influx of survivors, housing within the base was bound to become a major issue.

Based on her experience building a base in her past life, if she let things go unchecked, conflicts would inevitably erupt among the crowded survivors. That’s why even though there were still spare rooms, she was constantly pushing for more construction.

"It’s going well enough. We don’t lack manpower, but we’re still racing to gather building materials."

Felix Finch replied.

They needed a huge amount of construction materials, but because of the ongoing conflict between the two bases, he had ordered his people to pause their collection efforts.

"It’ll be over soon. Anselm Hughes won’t be able to wait much longer. Also, be careful of people inside the base for the next few days."

Nina Jacobs warned.

Anselm Hughes must have made thorough preparations for this attack. It was unlikely he would launch a reckless, direct assault, so they needed to pay extra attention to security within the base.

"Everyone who enters the base has been registered, and Mr. Ainsworth has already covered the main roads with surveillance cameras."

Felix Finch was also worried about saboteurs. Although their current technology didn’t allow for real-time monitoring, someone reviewed the footage every four hours.

If any suspicious individuals were found, the base’s security team would immediately handle it.

"Okay. About the supplies I mentioned earlier, a friend of mine will be coming to trade with the base in the next couple of days. All you need to do is prepare the Crystal Cores."

Nina Jacobs changed the subject so abruptly that both of them were caught off guard for a moment. ’Nina’s friend?’

"You can trade with her without any worries. She’s one of my people. Just use as many Crystal Cores as the base has."

Nina Jacobs said.

"I understand. Does she have a lot of supplies?"

Felix Finch couldn’t help but ask.

...

Even though Nina Jacobs had warned Felix Finch about the supply trade beforehand, he was still stunned for a long time when he met Claire Warner and saw the list of supplies she presented.

"Just select the supplies you need and fill in the quantities. I’ll provide the items according to the list."

Claire Warner told him.

"Okay, Miss Warner. Please wait a moment."

Felix Finch didn’t ask any unnecessary questions, simply because he knew Claire Warner was one of Nina Jacobs’s people.

Nina Jacobs felt a bit helpless herself.

The System determined that only by trading the supplies in her storage for Crystal Cores would she gain System Experience.

As the founder of Tomorrow Base, she could have just taken the base’s Crystal Cores directly, but that wouldn’t constitute a trade, and she wouldn’t gain any experience.

Therefore, Claire Warner and Tomorrow Base had to conduct a proper trade.

Because it was a secret transaction, Felix Finch took Claire Warner to the underground warehouse alone.

"Miss Warner, you..."
